my glasnost test inside vuze tells me im not throttled but i cant get over 100kb on a 12MB connection.

spoke to BT, the guy in the exceptions team suggested i move products to get the throttling removed. so im 8 quid a month better off, unlimited and only on a 12 month contract, not an 18.

will see if downloads get any quicker tomorrow.

Could take up to 5 days after new contract starts.
I've been on it 1 day and no sign of change; others have been luckier.

speedtest.net, 69Mbps.

how are you better off when the new and old prices match?

It's only the last few weeks or so the throttling has been relaxed, and now seems to have disappeared. Before DL was throttlled at peak and UL 24/7 to 1Mb.

My guess is there is more capacity now to deal with the change to totaly unlimited so they can afford to relax the restrictions on the old packages. I could see throttleing at some point.

I won't be upgrading untill my contract is up is a few months, don't use P2P much (this could also explain the relaxed restrictions), it will be interesting to see what happens in the mean time for both unlimited and totally unlimited users.

Just got my first ever unthrottled result from Glasnost p2p.
I'll try again busy time this evening.
